immersion ...easily changes color.. See that's the GREAT thing about immersion coatings. If they change color, they probably will not solder well. Try that with other coatings.

Actually, if I can't figure out these .DB% and .EN% files soon, I'm gonna start ripping apart UCT to see what I can find. There is no good reason for them to make something like that non-accessible.

Actually, you will be soldering and wire bonding to the palladium layer, so we should have asked if you checked that layer, rather than the nickel. We not sure of the source of the copper that your see on EDX. It's possible copper from the pad migra

I would go into the system BIOS and see if everything looks good. Check out the boot sequence and make sure it recognizes the hard drive. If that is good you probably have a bad drive. It is a good idea to make a copy of your drive's in case of cr

"...but it would also be testing if they had enough mechanical strength to hold the components on." Only if you take the time to observe the results. :) Your point is well taken, but these guys were only interested in seeing if any failure modes pro
